The Perfect Double Bill

Tools    





Ocean's series, back to back!



Carnage/The Breakfast Club
Both films are about a group of totally different people in the same room throughout the entire movie.

Moneyball/Trouble With The Curve
Both films are focused on innovations in the game of baseball.

Black Swan/The Wrestler
Aronofsky called Black Swan a companion piece to his previous film The Wrestler, recalling one of his early projects about a love affair between a wrestler and a ballerina. He eventually separated the wrestling and the ballet worlds as "too much for one movie". He compared the two films: "Wrestling some consider the lowest art—if they would even call it art—and ballet some people consider the highest art. But what was amazing to me was how similar the performers in both of these worlds are. They both make incredible use of their bodies to express themselves."
Castaway/127 Hours
Both great, big films that are (mostly) carried by one performance alone.

The Nightmare Before Christmas/Sweeney Todd
Two musicals by Tim Burton (I know, he didn't direct it, but whatever!)

Groundhog Day/Source Code
Two movies where scenes are repeated over, and over, and over.

M.Hulot's Holiday/Mr.Bean's Holiday
Two silent, clumsy men on vacation.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit/Wreck It Ralph
Both are a celebration of their respective mediums, and both have cameos from big cartoon, and video game characters.

Cloud Atlas/The Fountain
Science fiction films with mortality, and interconnected lives as themes.

And a few others:
Gummo/Spring Breakers
In Bruges/The Guard
Super/Kick-Ass
Into The Wild/Grizzly Man
Juno/Knocked Up
The Aviator/J.Edgar

I could go on.
